New Finds of Qingciyao Palaeolithic Sitein Datong in Shanxi Province

青磁窑遗址是山西重要的旧石器时代早期遗址之一。1976—1977年经过两次发掘,发表了初步研究报告。1984年和1987年,再次在遗址中发现了53件石制品,类型包括石核、石片和石器;石片占多数,其中有疤台面和修理台面石片是该遗址中以前未发现过的,从而丰富了青磁窑遗址的文化内涵。

The Qingciyao paleolithic site,an important early paleolithic site in Shanxi Province, was discovered in the spring of 1975 and excavated twice in 1976 and 1977 respectively. The previous (report) of excavation was published in 1983. In 1984 and 1987, some stone artifacts including cores, flakes and tools, were discovered again. Most of stone materials are quartzite, and a few are quartz and flint. Direct hammer flaking was mainly employed on cores with alternate percussion, and bipolar flaking was used occasionally. The flakes are dominant in the assemblage, and some flakes with scarred platforms and with prepared platforms are identified for the first time. All of stone tools are scrapers and trimmed predominantly by hard hammer on flakes. Some scrapers were crudely trimmed in the alternate ways. The majority of the retouch (occurred) on the dorsal surface of the scrapers by simple and crude percussions, some scrapers retain (various) degrees of cortex. The types and techniques of the Qingciyao assemblage are similar to those of the early Paleolithic sites in North China .It provides new materials to study Qingciyao culture.
